So...just because you want “more” that means you aren’t happy, content or satisfied with what you have...it’s not enough?
I think because we are “enough” for each other, is what allows us to swing successfully. Because we’re enough, it’s a take it or leave it attitude we have about swinging.
Enough meaning...I am totally, unequivocally, unconditionally, satisfied, happy and content with Ted. Should I never touch another man or woman the rest of my life I would still remain ecstatically happy and sexually fulfilled and content beyond what most people ever dream or get to experience in their lives. No more is required...he, and what I have with him is enough that my happiness and contentment in life is beyond question.
I know there is more sexual variety out there, more sexual fun to be had beyond what Ted and I can accomplish with just the two of us...More is nice, more is fun, more is exciting...not only to think about but to actually partake of but...more is not required for either of us to be happy, content and fulfilled.
Yes there are sexual wants/desires/fantasies that Ted and I cannot fulfill for each other by ourselves...we know this, aren’t threatened by it and chose to help each other fulfill them..not because either of us felt that if they weren’t fulfilled there would be a void in our lives but, because we could. A want doesn’t necessarily equate to a void, that if not filled, will develop into a need. Had we not made the choice to swing, we would have been just as happy, content and fulfilled.
Just because you want something...sexual variety, a new car, a new house, whatever, doesn’t mean that what you do have isn’t enough for you to be totally fulfilled and ecstatically happy.
Wants/desires/fantasies are fleeting things...they come and go and change as time goes on. Some are meant to be filled, some aren’t, some must be filled and others are just those things that you say...”Yes, I want that, I desire it but, should I never get it/experience it, it’s not that big of a deal, I'm happy right where I am”.
So...to answer your question...
We swing because we are enough for each other.
